Asteroid Blues

( Note: These battlereports are telling an ongoing story. To keep up, just read the previous battreps.)

To the honorable Members of the Haqqislam High Command.

This ist Abdel Ibn Abu Almani reporting. As i have reported you recently, the altercation at the diplomatic conference between our delegation and the spokesmann of Ariadnan Diplomatic Corpse was not the coincidence that it seems at first glance.
The DNA extraction that our Tuareg Fielddoctor has taken during the actions and the stolen datas from our Hawwa hacking specialist helped us to put some of these loose ends together.

As i have supposed, the sudden interuption and escalation of the conference was in some way connected with the incident at the Main-Strip, where our forces had secured informations and cubes of high ranking ISS members, that were stolen by an covert JSA operation. This leeds me to the conclusion, that the second power, the one that the JSA has tried to hand over the informations, was PanOceania. But for some reason PanO was not able to react openly against us, and so they tried to use Ariadna and our meeting with theire diplomats to receive what they wan´t.

You might ask yourself how i came up with this conclusion, and here is the answer.

The ariadnan diplomat whos DNA we extracted was in fact not even of ariadnan origin nor was he a man. We compared her DNA with our database and found out, that she was a high ranking agent of the Hexahedron who´s cover name is „Apate“.
Our rescued delegates told us, that he/she appeared for the first time after the third break of the conference right befor the USARF enters the stage. So we have to assume that she was the reason for this whole affair and that she was informed about the incident at the Main-Strip. For as far as we know from the extracted datas that our hacking specialist has procured, PanO has received videomaterial from the Main-Strip incident by an almost unknown Warcorospondent namend „Herman Stöger“ who accompaniend the JSA forces that we descend upon.
After that, Apate handed the videomaterial over to the ariadnan delegation and incited them to react, telling them, that we have commited unallowed actions against an unprepared opponent. She lures the delegation with the chance of beeing rewarded by O12 if they arrested our diplomats and make them responsible for it.
So the US Ariadnan Forces react immediately. What they don´t know was, that Apate never planned to hand them over to official O12 judiciary, but to take our Diplomats as hostages to exchange them against the cubes that we secured at the main strip.

But Allah, blessed be his name and eternal glory may be upon him, comes to our aid and we were able to bring our diplomats home savely and even secure this informations.

At the moment our specialists are working on extracting the informations from the ISS cubes we recovered, and we hope that this will bring a little more light into this affair. Meanwhile we have send out a small elite combat group of the Ramah Task Force. We need more informations, and we will get them, by any means neccessary…..

[Two days later]

—Report to the Haqqislam High Command by Department of Military-Public Relations Spokesman Abdel Ibn Abu Almani—

Salem Aleikum, honorable members of the HHC.

During the last two days the situation looked pretty helpless. We were not able to overcome the special security mechanism within the ISS Member cubes. So we decided that our Ramah Task Force command shall perfom a special operation. We need to capture a Japanese Specialist that is able to decipher the cubes. Our Hassasin spies have told us, that such an individual was right at the Xaraks Battery Field, and that he is in contact with US Ariadnan Forces.

Under this circumstances we have to act quickly and the force that we send shall not be like a sword of allah ( glory be upon him and his name) but like the personified enrage of him. Tarik Mansuri himself has put together a combat group of his best man and woman to comer over the Japanese like a storm of justice.

To say it first and foremost. This conflict was one of the most brutal firefights i have ever witnessed. A squad of heavy JSA infantrie has embattled the roof of a hub, but Tarik has jumped directly into the flames of war. I have never seen such a carnage. One critical hit after another and two heavy infantrist were dead within a couple pf minutes.
To the right of the hub a dreadfull O-Yoroi Tactical Armored Gear hast opened the fire but nothing could stand against this tool of Allahs will. Tarik damaged the TAG heavily befor he retreats into cover.

What happened next leaved me breathless. The O-Yoroi goes into full motion, crushed into our battleline and attacked Tarik in close combat. He gets seriously wounded and only a couple of seconds befor the TAG collapsed under the constant defensive fire of our troops, he was even able to kill on of Tariks Kawarij brothers.
At this moment our force was near it´s collapse. This blow has decapitated us and we were in loss of our beloved liteunant. I knew that i had to react, so i´ve ordered one of our Hakim fields medic directly to Tariks aid and oh truly allah is mercyfull, he was able to get him back on his feet.
Once again, Tariks counterstrike was remorsless and under the cover of our Tuareg Sniper he was able to reach the the backyard of the hub, were the rest of the small JSA battlegroup hides like cowards.
No mercy was asked….none was given.

We captured the JSA specialized and right at the moment we are fighting a desperate withdrawl to reunite with the rest of the RTF forces while the USAR forces are right behind our heels.

I hope allah protects us.

Oh wait…..they are coming….they are ju [transmission ended]
